Head Coach Crupi said, "In terms of the game content, it was a very poor game. Considering the type of football that Gamba aims to play, I think it will take a little more time to find balance in the team. However, I think we need to first accept the current situation and steadily grow step by step."

Q: "You've changed your defensive midfielder combination a bit since the last time, but do you still think you have problems with your midfield defense?"
Head Coach Crupi: "I think the biggest challenge is to balance the midfield. With Ideguchi, who was here until last year, and Konno, who was injured and not here today, out of the team, the team's base is still not in place. We are using young players in this situation. However, they are not to blame for this losing streak. I take full responsibility for the results, as I am still in the process of exploring how to build a team. I want to make this clear to everyone."

Q: "The three substitutes were teenagers with little J1 experience and Ide. What was the intention behind making these substitutions?"
Head Coach Crupi: "I had the intention of increasing the attacking power from the midfield to the front, but I also wanted to see how well they could perform in an official match, even though they are young players. Of course, I watch them in practice, but I wanted to see how they performed in the official match and see if they are players that I can use (in official matches) in the future. As I said before, there is a burden on the players when there are a lot of changes in players, and I take full responsibility for that. However, I think that we need to continue to make such assessments and gradually improve the team."
